I was looking for a nice alternative to my Last & Loom beanie and tried the Northport first but its triple fold was so uncomfortably thick and felt restricting on me so I ended up with this:

It's the Parkman and it is also made of 100% wool. Very comfortable and soft. BTW its pin is easily detachable and the hat is made in Germany. What do you guys wear from them?

The Gulfport model made for Meyer the Hatter of New Orleans, as seen in Playa del Carmen. More of a Panama than a Western style, and designed to work with sunglasses. Don't miss Meyer if you are lucky enough to find yourself in NOLA, been doing the deal for well over a century (that's a long time for 'Murica).

Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring. Stetson Modena.

I stitched this patch onto a Stetson trucker cap while waiting in the queue for oasis tickets

@Dion Noticed the northport beanie at a shop due to the big fold and softness like you mentioned and 100% wool. Had no clue about the brand, so didn't buy it immediately but after bit of research indicating they seem to make well made products. Went back and got the northport you mentioned. The big triple fold was what I was looking for, since I am really only looking for not having my ears cold.
